"The message is clear: the community wanted something done about the violence and the culture that creates it," Mr Newman told parliament on Friday.

Violent and antisocial offenders also face stiffer penalties for obstructing police, assaulting public officials, creating a public nuisance, refusing to leave a licensed premises, failing to obey a move-on order and urinating in public.

ID scanners will also be compulsory at venues trading after midnight.

"Unfortunately, alcohol and drugs and violence is not a new phenomenon in Queensland or throughout the country," Mr Newman said.
